If i remember, for newsfeed it’s different because it’s a default module

duplicate newsfeed as default/newsfeed2
and add default/newsfeed2 in defaultmodules.js
add the module in config.js and restart mm

@chassain…checked it without any reaction. I also added it as MMM-newsfeed in modules-folder and in config.js…but nothing happened.

@chassain-0 said in MMM-pages - modules with same name on different pages:

and add default/newsfeed2 in defaultmodules.js
add the module in config.js and restart mm

you do not need to (and should not) edit the defaultmodules.js file

just use
{
module: “default/newsfeed2”
etc
}

Hi again,

Non of these proposals work for me…or I’m too dump to understand it. I made different attemps: copied newsfeed2 parallel to newsfeed in the default-folder and added “default/newsfeed2” to config.js - no success. Then I made a default-folder under default - no success. I also tried “newsfeed2” in config.js - no success.
In any combination I change newsfeed.js to newsfeed2.js without success. Can someone with a running newsfeed-doublette enter a screenshot of the folder-structure and the config.js?
Thank you in advance
Thomas

don’t forget to change the name inside the file newsfeed2.js

I already did - no success.
Am I the only one with this requirement?
